Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day. The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
creteis@yahoo.com Behold in a nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown a part of the city of poverty ...
and they did not even try to paint the places ...houses or homes ...to hide the poverty ...
nevertheless there were places of business there ...for there was money to be made ...off the poor ...
and in one place there was a coin machine ...
and any would put in a paper money ...and get coins in return ...
and so use the coins to pay the fee of soap and water and cleaning machines ...
even that any clothes might appear clean ...
now it came to pass that a man put some paper money in the machine ...and may coins came out ...
and not just the coins equal to his paper money ...
Yet much much more ...
and the man was glad ...and took the extra coins ...and stuffed his pockets full ...
and he thought of the many times ...the machine... took his and other peoples money ...and gave nothing back ...
and he stuffed his pockets the more ...
Nevertheless while he was stuffing his pockets two things happened ...
One another person saw him ...and thought the same thing ...of the many times ...the machine... took his and other peoples money ...and gave nothing back ...
and and the man who was stuffing his pockets ...knew there was someone trying to fix the machine ...behind a wall ...
Now the man had to make a decision ...to give the coins to the man who was fixing the machine ...or to keep them ...
Now the other man ( who saw him ) thought keeping the coins petty ...even in poverty ...
and the man fixing the machine knew nothing of the man stuffing his pockets ...
and the man stuffing his pockets ...left off ...stuffing his pockets ...
and left off taking any more coins ...and left the coins that still remained ...in the machine ...
Nevertheless he kept the coins that he had stuffed in his pockets ...
and that again ...justified of his own thinking ...reasoning ...that of the many times ...the machine... took his and other peoples money ...and gave nothing back ...
and the man walked around pockets bulging of coins ...
and went into another business ...and sat down ...
and he thought ...of his own thinking ...that he could not spend the coins there ...for it would be so plain ...that so many coins ...must have come from the coin machine ...
and so he left that place ...and walked about ...wondering what to do with the coins ...
and he met his wife ...and she wondered what he should do ...though she feared ...he might be charged with robbery ...
Now as the man walked in darkness ...he looked and there was the man who had tried to fix the machine ...
and the man who tried to fix the machine ...was in a pit ...and moaning a woeful song of losing so much money ...
and again the man who stuffed his pockets had to weigh the measures of matters ...
and that was to return the money ...because the machine ...was broken ...
or to keep the money ...because of the ...the many times ...the machine... took his and other peoples money ...and gave nothing back ...
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 17
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that were wont to gather poll money, came to Peter and said: Doth your master pay tribute? He said: ye. And when he was come into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying: what thinkest thou Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute or poll money? of their children, or of strangers? Peter said unto him: of strangers. Then said Jesus unto him again: Then are the children free. Nevertheless: lest we should offend them: go to the sea and cast in thine *angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take and pay for me and thee.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 12
Then Jesus six days before *ester, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, which was dead and whom Jesus raised from death. There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment called Nardus, perfect and precious, and anointed Jesus feet, and wiped his feet with her hair and the house was filled of the savour of the ointment. Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscarioth Simons son, which afterward betrayed him: why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This said he, not that he cared for the poor: but because he was a thief, and kept the bag, and bare that which was given. Then said Jesus: Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it. The poor all ways shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not all ways have.
So I turned me, lifting up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a flying book. And he said unto me: what seest thou? I answered: I see a flying book of twenty cubits long, and ten cubits broad. Then said he unto me: This is the curse, that goeth forth over the whole earth: for all thieves shall be judged after this book, and all swearers shall be judged according to the same, I will bring it forth ( saith the Lord of hosts ) so that it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my name: and shall remain in his house, and shall consume it, with the timber and stones thereof. Then the angel that talked with me, went forth, and said unto me: lift up thine eyes and see what this is that goeth forth. And I said: what is it? He answered: this is a measure going out. He said moreover: Even thus are they ( that dwell upon the whole earth ) to look upon. And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure. And he said: This is ungodliness. So he cast her into the midst of the measure, and threw the lump of lead up in to an whole.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 11
But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it, over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much labor, and he had the governance of the world, over all the fowls that have been. After this I looked , and behold, the head that was in the midst, suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings: then came the two heads, which ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. And I beheld, and lo the head upon the right side, devoured it that was upon the left side. And I heard a voice, which said unto me: look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest. Then I saw, and behold, as it were a lion that roareth, running hastily out of the wood, and he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said: Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee: Is it not thou that hast the victory of the four beasts, whom I made to reign upon the earth and in my world, and that the end of their times might come through them?
And the fourth came, and *overwane, subdue all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with the most wicked labor, and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit, and the earth thou hast not judged the truth. For thou hast troubled the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable and quiet, thou hast loved lies, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm. Therefore is thy wrongeous dealing and blasphemy come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and behold, they are ended, and their abominations are fulfilled. And therefore appear no more thou Eagle, and thy horrible wings, and thy wicked feathers, and thy ungracious heads, and thy sinful claws, and all thy vain body: that the earth may be refreshed, and come again to herself, when she is delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy of him that made her
The Lord God showed me this vision: and behold, there was a maunder with summer fruit. And he said: Amos, what seest thou? I answered: a maunder with summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me: the end cometh upon my people Israel, I will no more oversee them. In that day shall the songs of the temple be turned to sorrow, sayeth the Lord God. Many dead bodies shall lie in every place, and be cast forth secretly. Hear this, O ye that oppress the poor, and destroy the needy in the lands, saying: When will the new month be gone, that we may sell vitals, and the Sabbath, that we may have scarceness of corn: to make the bushel less, and the Sickle greater? We shall set up false weights, that we may get the poor under us with their money, and the needy also for shoes: yee let us sell the chaff for corn.
